Walk Battersea from Battersea Power Station outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 87% of the 6,832 households in SW11 live in flats, 13% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 38% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW11, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Battersea is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SW11, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Battersea Power Station (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Battersea: the rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Battersea is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Nearest station is Battersea Power Station (Northern), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
